I love this set and I have already used it on the same challenge blog before at Freshly Made Sketches but I just loved the layout again.

I cut the little boat from the set from kraft card and paper pieced part of the sail in some blue corrugated card. I then cut the anchor from copper mirror card that I got from my local craft shop. This mirror card is amazing. The shine on it is just fantastic.

I even tried to make a little sailors knot at the top. Something I know that my Dad is really good at as he makes these wonderful ships bell ropes using all kinds of decorative knots.

Knot tying was something I didn't do as I joined the Royal Navy as a Communicator but I did learn the basics during my training.

I wrapped a little bit of string around the anchor and finished with a tiny sea shell which I found in my stash.

The designer papers I have used came from The Works on a recent trip to visit my family in the UK. I couldn't believe the price. They paper pad was £1!

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out Spellbinders for details of this lovely die set.

About Me

My first love was cross stitch then I started to card make just using a simple pre made embelishment and a peel off. My passion for card making progressed from there. I currenly live in France and I am married to my lovely husband and we have a gorgeous daughter and a oh so cute little boy who keeps me on my toes.
